Tag Archives: Mediterranean Chicken and Fruit

This is one of my Healthy January recipes! Chicken, browned in olive oil, dried apricots and prunes, and couscous. What a flavor-filled meal! This was the second course to my Orange, Onion and Olive Salad.

Mediterranean Chicken and Fruit

olive oil

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

salt

pepper

1 cup dried apricots

1 cup dried prunes

15 ounces chicken broth

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon cumin

1 cup couscous

Cut each chicken breast into two or three pieces. Place each piece in a ziploc bag. Pound with a mallet until thin. In a large skillet over medium high heat drizzle a little olive oil. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and add to the skillet. Cook until browned on both sides – about ten minutes. In a large measuring cup whisk the chicken broth, cinnamon and cumin. Pour over the chicken. Add the dried fruits. Allow to cook for a few minutes. Add the cup of couscous to the skillet. Stir well. Remove from heat and cover. Let sit five minutes. Enjoy!

I live to cook! My husband loves to eat! We make a great pair! We enjoy growing tomatoes, herbs and flowers in our back yard. Tearooms are a favorite of ours - well, almost any restaurant will do - as long as the food is good! We are passionate about history and visiting 'where it happened'. Truly we enjoy life! Life together!
